Chapter 39: 8 Hexagrams
Was Professor David moving his wand to save Coven at any time?
Was it to secretly increase the difficulty of Coven?
In fact, it was just that the outer thigh of Professor David was a little itchy, and he just rubbed it with his wand. As for whether Coven could successfully release the spell to block the big spider, Professor David had already known in his heart. After all, Coven's incantation was so standard, and the movement of his wand was so standard.
Moreover, Coven had successfully blocked the sneak attack of two rubber balls during the last lesson, so the big spider, which was much slower than the rubber ball, naturally could not add any difficulty to Coven.
Professor David was very sure about this.
At the same time, as Professor David had expected, the spell that Coven released easily hit the spider that was falling from the sky. It did not even give the spider a second jump after it fell to the ground. Therefore, the big spider in the air suddenly gathered its strong eight feet and curled up on its abdomen.
Then, after the big spider's body landed on the ground, it let out a painful cry and stopped after bouncing twice on the ground. It began to shake and struggle.
Pa!
After patting his hands twice, Professor David looked at Coven meaningfully and praised him in a flat tone, "The very standard 'Leg-Locking Curse'. Did you see it clearly?"
"I saw it clearly."
The students responded one after another.
Coven quickly and secretly glanced at Slytherin students. He couldn't help but feel relieved because, at this time, most of the people looked a little eager, but there was very little envy, jealousy, and hatred like before.
"Mr. Quinn, you can go to your seat to rest. You can see the performance of your classmates, and you can do other things. I declare that you have passed my two classes." Professor David couldn't help but say. He then commanded, "Next student, come forward!"
When he finished speaking, Professor David used his wand to control the big spider to float back. The wand shook and removed the effect of the Leg-Locking Curse on the big spider.
Seeing this, Coven took the opportunity to get up, turned around, and walked back to the seat to sit down...
In the following time, the students who were practicing 'Leg-Locking Curse' were in a terrible state. After all, not many students had come into contact with the threat of magical creatures before they entered the school. Therefore, most of them were in a panic when facing the attack of the big spider. Even though they knew that the professor would rescue them, they frequently made mistakes. Either the spell was recited wrongly, or the wand's movement was not up to standard. Even if someone successfully released the spell, the accuracy was still worrying.
Therefore, as Coven's face became worse and worse, until the end of the class, there was no other student who successfully blocked the big spider except him.
Looking at Slytherin House again, Coven was sure because the eyes of the group of Slytherin students who looked at him were even more unfriendly. There was no longer the eagerness of 'I can do it' from before...
..
Lunch time.
Coven ate gloomily. Not only did he have to deal with the celebration, praise, and advice of the Gryffindor students around him, but he also had to endure the malicious gaze from Slytherin's long table. Therefore, Coven had to vent his unhappiness on the food and bite the steak and fruit fiercely.
After lunch, Coven did not return to the dormitory to take a nap. Instead, he stayed in the auditorium and continued to read the books borrowed from the library.
...
At this time, Penelope walked over and sat down beside Coven. After hitting Coven with his elbow, she whispered, "You provoked Slytherin."
"I did not provoke them." Coven was helpless. His gaze shifted from the book to Penelope's face, and he said in a slightly depressed tone, "They are crazy."
"I heard about it." Penelope bent down and leaned close to Coven's face. He whispered, "The news spread during lunch. They said that you performed too well in class. It hit the self-confidence of Slytherin's students."
"Who did you hear it from?" Coven was unhappy. Was the kid at Hogwarts so gossipy?
"I heard it from your Gryffindor friend, Alleria." Penelope replied, "I mean, first, our Ravenclaw's freshman heard it from Alleria, and then it came to me."
"Alleria Lothar?" Coven had an impression of it. It was a black-haired female freshman who used her mouth when breathing, causing her teeth to bulge out, making her look like monkey cheeks.
Penelope confirmed, "Yes."
"Just by looking at her face, I can tell that she is a little b * tch..." Coven muttered.
"Don't say dirty words!" Penelope elbowed Coven again and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
"What I do what?" Coven was puzzled.
"I mean, I heard that Slytherin House's students love to be calculative and bear grudges." Penelope said with some concern, "On the first day of school, my seniors warned us not to interact with Slytherin's students and try not to offend them."
"Tsk, just a bunch of little kids." Coven curled his lips in disdain. "What can they do to me? In the castle, besides the classroom, you are not allowed to use magic spells."
"In short, you should be careful." Penelope warned, "It's best if you stay with your Gryffindor students. This way, you can avoid trouble as much as possible."
"Don't worry." Coven smiled and comforted her, "If they come to find trouble with me, then they will be the ones who will be the ones to be in trouble."
"I know you know a lot of magic spells, but you have to be careful of Slytherin's senior students." Penelope was still a little worried.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Coven repeatedly answered and then immediately changed the topic and said, "How's your class today?"
"It's alright." Penelope was successfully distracted. He said with some distress, "In the month before school started, you only taught me four household spells, so our dean's Charm Class is fine. This morning's transformation class is a little difficult."
At this point, Penelope couldn't help but look at Coven with some resentment. She said unhappily, "Why did you go to Gryffindor? If only you were with Ravenclaw, then I would be able to find you for tutoring every day."
"Be more confident." Coven smiled and raised his hand, patting Penelope on the shoulder. "From what I can see, you are more mature and smart than the other students of this year. I believe that there will be no lessons that will trouble you."
"Of course!" Penelope proudly stood up at the airport.
"After a while." Coven continued to smile and said, "I plan to find if there is any place that is convenient to practice magic spells. After finding it, we can practice together."
"Alright, it's a deal!" Penelope jumped with joy...
